Bill Summary
This bill provides that the mileage reimbursement rate payable to a State officer or employee driving a private automobile on State business will be the same as the standard mileage rate established by the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the deductible cost of operating an automobile for business purposes. State law provides that the State's mileage reimbursement rate would be 18 cents per mile and that this rate would be adjusted biannually to reflect changes in gasoline prices. Annual appropriations acts have adjusted this mileage reimbursement rate. Currently, the rate is 31 cents per mile for FY 2016-2017. It is necessary to establish the State's rate at the same level as the IRS rate (as adjusted periodically for inflation) in order to fairly compensate State officers and employees who drive their own vehicles on public business. The bill repeals N.J.S.A.52:14-17.1a which provides that the $0.18 per mile rate in the law would be adjusted twice each year to reflect changes in the price of gasoline.
AI Summary
This bill sets the mileage reimbursement rate for state officers and employees driving their own vehicles on state business at the same standard mileage rate established by the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for deductible business use of an automobile. It repeals the existing state law that sets the mileage reimbursement rate at $0.18 per mile and requires biannual adjustments to reflect changes in gasoline prices. The bill aims to fairly compensate state personnel who use their personal vehicles for official duties by aligning the state's reimbursement rate with the federally recognized rate, which is adjusted periodically for inflation.
